Little Explorers [look- think- talk- imagine- realize]
In the 'Little Explorers' project children supervised by teachers perform a series of unusual activities such as research games and experiments. Children and teachers analyse the results of the activities, describe, exchange and publish them using ICT. The reports, descriptions of results of the children’s researches make the basis of educational resources which develop different strategies of thinking and listening to others. Children ask open-ended questions: Why…?, How…?, What would happen if…? and try to find the answers to the questions. Children supervised by their teachers carry out a series of subprojects:
1. Little Explorers of Big Space http://littleexplorers.blogspot.com
2. Human - a part of nature/Climate Klimaty http://humanapartofnatureclimate.blogspot.com
3. PLAY ON-LINE a) Draughts online b) Board games c) Digital puzzles
Aims:
• Development of creative thinking by solving problems, unconventional use of different objects, using different sources of information.
• Development of abilities to communicate by discussing negotiating, reasoning and making decisions in a team.
• Development of abilities of teachers who will teach each other using advanced communication and information processing tools but also publishing the effects of work with children.
• Expansion of the number of teaching resources of schools taking part in the project.
Work process:
Expected results:
Supervised by their teachers children will be able to observe the environment, use multimedia sources of information (e-books), search for information on the Internet, use digital tools such as digital camera or scanner to make records, copy and process information. The project helps to develop the abilities to use advanced communication tools of cooperation between children, teachers and nursery schools. The project will make possible to meet with different style and methods of teaching in Poland, Malta, Czech Republic, Spain... Teachers will teach one another how to use a number of communication tools and to use and process educational resources. They’ll also use mediablogs which will enable to publish interviews, films, reportages and PowerPoint and Flash presentations, etc. http://mediablog.mail2web.com/littleexplorers/
